No fuel pressure?
Wednesday, May 06, 2009 10:23 PM
Ok so here is the thing,

Every time I get gas, no matter how much I already have or how much I get, whenever I turn the car on, my car struggles to turn over. Now this only happens when I get gas, no other time. I was throwing an EVAP code but I got that fixed due to my vent valve on my gas tank being stuck open but my car still does it after the repair.

So I'm thinking after I get gas there isn't enough fuel pressure to start normally and it then just struggles until there is enough.

Any help with this?

by 'struggles to turn over' do you mean it turns over as if the battery is low, or it has to crank excessively before it will start?

could be clogged fuel filter or even fuel pump. do u drive it under a quarter tank of gas or do fill it before it gets there

that's bad for your pump and the fastest way to clog a fuel filter.
